Bio
Steve Strobel
Kurt knew how to make Medallion's MRP system work to facilitate product development. Kurt's guidance was particularly useful in complex changes resulting from unplanned development events, in launches and in product life cycle management. Kurt demonstrated the ability to keep Medallion's production operation in step with customer demand and advance special projects of product development and process development. Kurt departed Medallion is 2017. Very recently, in October 2019, Kurt's MRO (special materials that may or may not be on the product bill of material) database helped us identify the source of a scarce and important raw material. Identifying this source was very important in the development of a high profile new product. Kurt created the MRO database as a special project. He lead the activity integrating inputs from various individuals. He researched and documented many obscure materials from 50 years of Medallion's diverse product history. Kurt did this because it was a resource that a Material Manager needs to do his job. Nobody told him to do it. Kurt was self motivated and delivered value to Medallion that we keep discovering, even two years after his departure. If you need such value, if you need a strong leader to make your materials organization deliver, hire this man.
